I am so tired, and READY for the New Year!

It is hard some days, and some days it is easy. That is the way that it is supposed to be. It makes looking forward to those easy days worthwhile. I love it. I live for it. My family has been amazing this past year, and years before of course. This past year in particular because of the challenges that my family has faced. We have overcome hurdle after hurdle. When I didn't we would make it through, we did. It was not without the support of our family and friends. It brings a tear to my eye, okay that's a lie it brings a flood of tears. I am overwhelmed with emotion when I look back at how many of our family members were there to support us. So.... Thank you!

My family is doing well, Averie is getting so big. She will be two in a couple of months. I cannot believe how fast she is growing up. Anessa will be 17, and although she is still growing up into the young woman she will become, she is beautiful and very smart. I look forward to watching her playing at San Jose State. Those games are going to be so much fun. Brian is doing well. He is working hard, and trying everything he possibly can to get this family back on track. It has been very hard. We have been a 3 year roller coaster ride, and every year seems to be better than the last, but man it's tough. I am very optimistic for the New Year.

I have not been blogging because I have needed to focus on my family, and personal well being. All of these challenges have taken a toll on all of us. Luckily I have some great people in my life to help me stand my ground and make good decisions. You know who you are, and Thank you! Hopefully I will be able to blog more in the New Year. I am not making any promises, but like I said I am optimistic.

Our jobs should be improving this year, or else there will be some big changes in the coming New Year. Big changes are just around the corner. Everyone's health needs to improve, eating better has got to become a priority. Organic may be a little expensive, but that does not mean we cannot be healthy. Nothing to difficult, I struggle with finding time for things that are too complicated, so simple and healthy.

The Christmas tree is up, the shopping is almost done, and we have made Christmas goodies. I even managed to get the Christmas cards out on time. I think I am ready for Christmas and the New Year. More than ready.
